Funny!  And then sharing cigars after getting out of jail.

Great show of respect for Jimenez yesterday. Sucks no spectators there for such an awesome record. He certainly seems like he would be fun to hang with on and off the course. Although I could do without the red wine.......

He would be in my top 5 golf hang out partners for sure. Great accomplishment for a seemingly great guy. 

I'm leaning toward hangin' with Mr. Jimenez and Keegan Bradley at the same time.

I dunno. I followed him around a tourney once and he didn’t seem like that great of a guy. Plus he’s a bit too Bostony for me.

Jimenez is from Spain.  What makes him too "Bostony"?  Does he hate the Yankees?  Or maybe you're talking about Bradley...

Yea I’m talking about Keegan. Seeing as I said MAJ would be in my top 5. 😞😞😞

Agreed.  Keegan is a bit off-putting and bland.  Sheesh, he could be a commentator for CBS...

Oh, for the record, Bradley and Jimenez got into a big rules tiff about a year ago.  Everyone thought punches were going to be thrown.  So that's why I'd like to hang with those two guys at once.

I’ll put my money on MAJ in a bar brawl. He looks like the type that would put his cigar straight into your eye and ask questions later.

I would definitely hang with Jimenez, after he has done his stretching routine.

Oh hell, I'd rather hang out in an upscale wine bar with him and have him do his stretches there.  The clientele won't know if he's solo dancing or having a fit.

It would only be appropriate if set to KC and the Sunshine Band's "Get Down Tonight."

Keegan has 3-4” reach advantage and played hockey growing up. Just sayin’. Like them both though.

    • I know what those are, and they were unofficial. They were mostly to create conversation… and promote Mark McCormack's own clients. What Matt said is correct: Tiger's career spanned 24 years. Regardless, 15 > 19 when factoring in the competition, and 82 >> 72 when doing so.
    • The McCormack rankings started in 1968. They used a nearly identical methodology as the original Sony rankings. except it was a three year look back vs two. Number of good years and total output is what matters when talking about the span of career.  All years are not created equally.
    • The OWGR didn't even exist until Jack was 46 years old. So… What he said is true. Jack turned pro in 1961. He won his last PGA Tour event in 1986. That's 26 years. Tiger turned pro in 1996. He last won a PGA Tour event in late 2019. That's a span of 24 years. What he said is true. Tiger's "career" (not counting 2020-2024 where he played a handful of events each year, like Jack often would) lasted 24 years.
    • People don't realize it because it isn't true.   Tiger had the following money list rankings in years you are counting as part of his career span. 68, 128, 201, 162, NA, NA, 24, 38, 223, 225   Nicklaus didn't drop out of the top 10 in the world golf rankings until he was 44. Nicklaus had 10 more years where he had a top ten finish in a major than Tiger has had as of now.
